And like many other great products from our modern society there are always various versions or brands that tend to shine and become more popular than the others. This part 2 of the feature - Comparison of Free Online Map Sites 'Bing Maps vs Google Maps' that takes a closer look at Microsoft's web mapping service provided as a part of their Bing suite of search engines and powered by the Bing Maps for Enterprise framework.

A major part of any GIS are Canadian Maps produced that help illustrate and provide visible spatial information, the Canadian GIS & Geomatics site has been providing people with map resources since 2005, and continues to list great resources. To find some awesome Canadian maps, check some of the links included on this post, browse through our data and Canadian map listings, use the search tools found along the right hand side or follow us on Twitter (we post images and links to a wide variety of maps daily).

Free Canadian Geospatial Data Sets

The Federal Government produces and acquires data sets in many different areas including health, agriculture, the environment and natural resources. The Government of Canada launched an open data portal [data.gc.ca] earlier this year as part of Canada's open government initiative. The portal aims to provide Canadians with a single point of access to find and download government open data sets.
